The Slackbot delivers users whatever they request (whether it’s a handyman, plane tickets, a resupply of snacks or even an order of ice cream) to @large on Slack. All the payment and delivery information is submitted upon sign-up, so users simply ask @large to bring what they need, and it will arrive as soon as possible.

The bathroom at the offices of interior design site Houzz might have become the bathroom of the future through Slack. Twitter user @vibhu tweeted this “toilet bot” found in the house bathroom.

The stall has a door sensor and radio transmitter, which sends alerts to a channel on Slack called #toilet-bot that gives users notifications whenever the toilet becomes busy or available.

Personalized food delivery

Intelligent software builder site Skipflag created a Foodbot that takes each employee’s individual lunch order through Slack, to be delivered by food-delivery startup Sprig.

The Foodbot on Slack sends each team member a direct message with the day’s Sprig menu. Each employee has 20 minutes to enter their selection, and the bot takes the responses and automatically places an order with Sprig.
